…but, I’m using my BRAIN! You know, to sort things out, organize my diabetic needs, in the interest of good health. In my prior post, I spoke about responsibility. Sleep habits, healthy foods, and exercise, fall into that category and MUST be a priority in my life and, I accept complete responsibility for each sector. This really IS the way to good diabetes management and great glucose levels.
I walked this morning — first thing. Ugh. I hated every minute, but I did it; NO CHOICE.
Food planning, I’ve FINALLY accepted it is imperative to avoid “slips.” I went shopping today with lunch and dinner menus a priority. My freezer is chock full of chicken and fish, so my basket was filled mostly with vegetables and fruits.
Breakfast is the most difficult meal of the day for me. Why? Chocolate chip pancakes, waffles, of course! Either would be my choice. This is the ONE MEAL that is a problem for me, and it’s not a new dilemma. I’m allergic to eggs, so there’s that. I like most foods, but my issue is the consistency of some of them — cottage cheese, for example, oatmeal, yogurt, anything mushy or gushy — I just can’t get them down. What to do? Any suggestions? The “most important meal of the day” (or so THEY say) is the one that I can’t seem to resolve. HELP! PLEASE, I’m pleading with you!
Regarding organization, new recipes are vital for me to keep interested in food preparation; I’ve been scouting the Internet for different ones. I’ll share of my T2D epicurean delights, as I make them 🙂 Variety is the spice of life!
I’m determined and dedicated to use my BRAIN to carve out my path to successful diabetes management!
About my BREAKFAST DILEMMA, seriously, if you have any ideas, I’d be thrilled to hear them. THANKS!!!
